Cynical insider view of the mobile industry, sorting the wheat from the considerable chaff in one of the most overhyped tech sectors of today using a blog - the favoured communications tool of the other most hyped technology of today. Expect no mercy, but we will be nice when it's deserved and constructive in our criticism.

A quick thankyou to Mr Mace for pointing out that my hundred quid bet is still not decided yet, nicely touching on a number of the reasons why it's actually very difficult to work out what has shipped between particular dates.

Currently I feel optimistic - this product was always going to sell to the faithful in large volumes over the opening week. It certainly won't sustain that rate so the bet all hinges on how quick the drop-off is, and whn they release v2 which should hopefully deal with a lot of the flaws (though I suspect there won't be a keyboard turning up any time soon so a lot of people will stay out in the cold).
